New WH Press Secretary Said Recently, “We Will Not See Diseases Like the Coronavirus Come Here”

HeadlineApr 08, 2020

Stephanie Grisham is out as White House press secretary after nine months on the job — during which she held zero news briefings. Her replacement is Kayleigh McEnany, a frequent guest on Fox News and longtime “birther” who’s promoted the racist conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. This is McEnany speaking on the since-canceled “Trish Regan” show on Fox News in February.

Kayleigh McEnany: “We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here. We will not see terrorism come here. And isn’t that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama?”
